Q: Uninstalling MacDefender

Please help. I am trying to uninstall MacDefender. I am following directions from the apple support page.

 

After I click All Processes, I cannot find MacDefender in the process column. Can be there be another process name?  There are processes that begin with md.

 

The malware is definitely installed and I need to get rid of it.

 

I am using OS X Yosemite.

 

Thank you for your time and help.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), OS X 10.10.5 (14F27)
